Can someone help me with this: 
routeRules: { 
        '/chat/:chat_id': { proxy: '/api/v1/:chat_id/public' },
    },
routeRules: { 
        '/chat/:chat_id': { proxy: '/api/v1/:chat_id/public' },
    },

Hi @cosbgn. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- I understand you're having trouble with the routeRules configuration in Nuxt. Let's clarify this for you based on the available documentation. The routeRules configuration is part of Nuxt's hybrid rendering feature, which allows you to define different caching and rendering rules for various routes. However, the specific syntax you're using for proxying doesn't match the documented usage. According to the Nuxt documentation on hybrid rendering, routeRules are primarily used for defining rendering modes, caching strategies, and redirects. The proxy option you're trying to use isn't directly mentioned in this context. For proxying API routes, Nuxt recommends using a different approach. Instead of using routeRules, you should create a server route that acts as a proxy. Here's how you can do it: 1. Create a file in your server/api directory, for example server/api/chat/[chat_id].ts. 2. In this file, use the following code to create a proxy: 
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const chatId = event.context.params.chat_id
  // Proxy the request to your API
  return proxyRequest(event, `<http://your-api-url/api/v1/${chatId}/public`>)
})
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const chatId = event.context.params.chat_id
  // Proxy the request to your API
  return proxyRequest(event, `<http://your-api-url/api/v1/${chatId}/public`>)
})
This approach is more in line with Nuxt's server-side capabilities and is better documented. If you specifically need to use routeRules for some reason, you might want to look into the Nitro route rules documentation, as Nuxt's routeRules are based on Nitro's implementation. However, the exact syntax you're trying to use isn't documented there either. For more detailed information on setting up API proxying in Nuxt, I recommend watching this video: The BEST way to proxy your API in Nuxt. It covers various strategies for API proxying in Nuxt and might help you find the best solution for your specific use case. Remember, when working with Nuxt features, always refer to the official documentation or verified sources to ensure you're using the most up-to-date and correct syntax. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

OMG kapa has not once in my lifetime been actually useful I also tried: 
routeRules: { 
    '/chat/*': { proxy: '/api/v1/*/public' }
},
routeRules: { 
    '/chat/*': { proxy: '/api/v1/*/public' }
},
but chat_id is * in the backend
